This man is a hero!! I've spent HOURS trying to put a Nighthawk on the same network as my Fios... should have been easier. This video is beyond simple explaination, example and accurate. Thank you for taking the time to do a fantastic walkthrough. FOR FIOS USERS, use the same settings as Richard's 1st router: in the admin screen of FIOS go to My Network, find your 2nd router, select details from dropdown, click on BRIDGE, then SETTINGS. Down in the bottom section, change Start IPv4 Address: to what Richard has in this video. You'll be good to go!!

Is this really bridging ? I thought bridging was 2 or more different subnets to be managed by a bridge/Router? This is simple extending I would say. In this confit ALL traffic is Shared over the whole network. In bridging there is some kind of a river/border and the packets aren’t broadcast over 2 routers if the target is in subnet 2. Nice Video though.

I just assumed it would be too difficult of a task, so I kept putting it off. Finally got another router and did a KZfaq search. Found this and it was super easy to follow and made it easy. Connected a Belkin (primary) with a Netgear (secondary). Thanks so much!

It WORKED! Once I slowed down and followed your instructions, everything worked just fine! I connected via a Linksys Velop mesh wifi. I love Velop, but I discovered I have one "smart" device that is to dumb to work with Velop. Tech support said, "It is way too powerful" and they would not talk to me. This TP-Link WiFi was a lot cheaper than replacing their dumb/smart unit. Your instructions allowed me to add the devise to my network and now I can put a few other specific items on here as well. BTW, I realized Velop automatically leaves 2 - 9 open for static IP's. This was another lifesaver for me. Thanks for the help!

Thanks so much - I've spent on and off a couple of weeks trying to "extend" the wifi in our house so that I can sit out on the deck and have access to wifi. This was by far the best explanation I've seen. Simple, elegant and it works. As the a guy also commented about you being annoying, it's only that if we have some knowledge, we're impatient to get on with it. But really 30mins was way less time than I've spent on searching for how to do this using bridge modes and WLAN connections etc, etc. Thanks!

Well this helped me with my old netgear D500 modem router to turn it into access point. Internet works fine but the CONNECTIVITY light doesn't show up. I can still access Internet. And when I set it up I could access the 2nd router in my case netgear through the main one (tp link) but later I couldn't I had to connect the lan from te netgear to laptop then I could access the netgear. Also I named both ssid as same so that my phone's WiFi won't disconnect & reconnect everytime it changes according to the signal strength. It connects to the stronger signal. Thanks for your video. 🙏🏻

@richardlloydusa 3 жыл бұрын
You can connect 5GHz routers or mix and match with 2.4GHz. 5GHz spectrum has no over lapping channels so as long as you use unique channels on each router there will be no signal interference with them. On 2.4GHz you should only use 1,6, 11 as they are the only ones that don't overlap in the 2.4GHz spectrum. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

What this shows is using the second router as a switch/hub and WiFi access point. Very, very useful in itself - I've used this method several times to implement "quick and dirty" WiFi "hot spots" when all I've had to hand is an old WiFi router. Is it bridging? One could argue that switches are multi-port bridges, but for the purpose of the what Richard is showing, does it matter and who cares (apart from the point of view of being pedantic) However, it is NOT true that you can do this with ANY WiFi router. It varies from make to make. - some will NOT forward DHCP requests from their WiFi interface to their LAN interfaces. They will only send them to their internal DHCP server. - some will ALWAYS route traffic on their WiFi interface to destinations out on the internet through their OWN WAN interface. They WILL NOT send it to another router (gateway), even though PCs on the WiFi interface are configured to use the OTHER router as the "default gateway". If you encounter either of these problems trying to do this: - WiFi clients connected to the secondary router fail to get an IP address unless you enable DHCP on that router. - WiFi clients connected to the secondary router can talk to other machines on the LAN but trying to talk to the internet fails. You probably have one of those "awkward" ones. There is a simple potential solution if your two routers are of different makes - simply swap their roles around. Make the one that doesn't want to play ball just being an access point as the "main" router, and use what was your main router as the access point. Also you CAN have two DHCP servers on the same subnet as long as their "scopes" - the range of IP addresses they dish out - DON'T overlap. Large networks usually have multiple DHCP servers for redundancy. Machines simple get an IP address from which ever one replies first.

Also you should have just explained that you are merely going to use the 2nd "router" as an "Access Point" and that you should just purchase a dedicated AP to do this as they are built for that an optimized for that unlike these home routers which are made to be 4 in one boxes. Ubiquiti makes some good product especially for a home with the only downside is having to dedicate a machine to be the "controller" for the AP. You can also buy a "cloud key" which is a PC-on-a-stick (literally) and it will run the controller software. It's very powerful and flexible. Unless you want a switch at the second location (where you are putting the 2nd Router (AP) in this scenario then get an AP.

Hey Richard, first of all great vid! You've toned it down and made it layman friendly! So cheers and applause for the good work!!! I have one question though and it would be GREAT help if you help me understand. - So before I stumbled on your video, I did a somewhat similar connection, but the major difference being at 12:10. I plugged in the mid-cable from "Orange Port 1" of "Router 1" to "WAN port" of "Router 2". With this setup, all connections work, i.e. wired and wireless on both routers. The only drawback being the inability to get to "Router 2" configuration page. The IP address automatically picked it up as 10.0.0.1 while the base router is on 192.168.1.1. I assume it's due to DHCP turned ON on Router 2 by default. Right? So my question is, why not use the WAN port on Router 2 instead of the orange LAN ports?

@richardlloydusa Жыл бұрын
Do a factory reset on the secondary router. Follow my video EXACTLY step by step and it will work regardless of what type of routers you are using. The usual reasons for this not working are incorrect IP address on the secondary, DHCP not turned off on the secondary and/or incorrect Ethernet connection between the two routers. It should be LAN port from the primary to LAN port on the secondary. The WAN/Internet port on the secondary should not be used. Another possibility is a bad Ethernet cable.

An excellent and very well explained video on how to extend your wireless network with an older mode/router laying around. Yes, indeed if you get the motivation to do a follow video by adding a third router and daisy chaining the network, would be great, but I assume the process would technically be the same by either connecting the third router to the Netgear or Tp-Link, disabling DCHP and assigning 192.168.1.3 to that third modem/router ???
@richardlloydusa 7 жыл бұрын
That would be the process exactly and yes you could connect the third router to either router and assign it a unique IP address to it. I would also suggest that the wireless channels would be unique to each router 1, 6, and 11. Unfortunately the fourth router would have to overlap one of the channels but this can be negated by placing the router far enough away from the router with the overlapping channel. I may also do a WIFI optimization video as well. Thank you for the feedback, kind words and watching. All the best.
@MrFreekyJ 7 жыл бұрын
Just would like to confirm with you another thing which your viewers may find extremely useful and that is the connect of the routers process. In your video you connect them by "ethernet cable ( cat 5e or 6)" but this may not always be practica//convenient running quite a lot of cable throughout the house. Would using a powerline network adapter (to bridge the gap between the main router & the second router) to connect both router work. Then running the second router off the powerline adapter and configuring it the same way as you did in the video. Is this process also a viable option for those who would have a hard time running a long ethernet throughout their home?

+Richard Lloyd I agree with +MrFreekyJ regarding the daisy-chain video. I am interested in setting up a more stable home network. My current DSL modem/router is failing; verified by my ISP tech support. I will install a Netgear DM200 DSL modem and a Netgear Nighthawk X6S AC3000 router that I already purchased. My home is approximately 1100-square-feet, so these should work well for my needs. If this is not the case, I would greatly appreciate some feedback and suggestions. At some point, I would like to begin streaming on Twitch, which would include live-streaming with gaming, story-time, and discussions. I currently have a 12MBps download and 0.8 Mbps upload service. Unfortunately, I am not attaining speeds near those values. Download speed is less than 10MBps and upload speed is less than 0.5MBps. I feel I will need to upgrade this service, unless installing the new modem and router units will allow me to attain the service speed. That is my hope, anyway, since the old modem/router unit is failing. I hope my reduced down/up speeds are caused by the failing device. I plan on running Cat5e cable from the living room area to my office to multiple computers. That is the main reason I am considering adding a second router at some point. If the Nighthawk X6S accommodates up to four wired devices, plus that many wireless devices, (located or used primarily in the living room), then I may not need to add a second router. Do you have any thoughts or recommendations on setting up this network? BTW, one meter approximately equals 3.3 feet, so 100 meters is approximately 330 feet. I subscribed. Thank you for the information, which was presented in an easily understood format.

Thank you sir, I thought I was a guru and decided to set up me network by myself as I've been doing all these years. But I'm used to NetGear, however, recently their devices are not provided sufficiently in the middle east and I needed a mesh network. The most common are D'link and Tp-link. I decided to go with D'link and oh boy, I had a hard time. Still, my mistake is that I didn't follow the instructions correctly provided by the manifacturer. I keep pluging the ethernet into the internet port on my second router and it gives me unstable internet and the d/c. I came across your video but because it was lengthy I didn't watch it but now I've decided to look for every possible solution. Regards, 🌷
